Val Morgan, Age 11, Of Spokane! Wash., For his question:

When did Cleopatra live?

There were seven queens of ancient Egypt named Cleopatra and the last one., Cleopatra VII was the most famous. Her story is interwoven with Julius Caesar’s and the most dramatic period of Roman history. She was born in the year 69 B.C. And died at the age of 39 in the year 30 B.C.

Though she is rated as one of the most glamorous women of history., she was not an outstanding beauty. She was, however, a very intelligent woman, humorous and charming her conversation was bright and quick witted. History reports that these qualities., rather than her beauty, accounted for the fame of Cleopatra VII  throughout the ancient world.
